I imagine that this is hard to answer and quite subject to personal taste, but how about as a recommendation to folks who are new to linus and opensuse (like me)?
I am struggling a bit with the Gnome interface and I really would like to stay with linux this time, so is KDE easier to manage for the user trying to get away from Microsoft?
This question is almost impossible for anyone to answer without it becoming a desktop war. I'd swear that people prefer the various desktop environments for more reasons than there are people. The best advice anyone can give you is choose the one that suits your way of working. If Gnome isn't right for you, then try KDE4 - either install it, or boot the LiveCD. Tinker a bit. Is it a good fir for your way of working? If yes, then go for it. If it's also not quite the way you think your computer should behave, you can try some of the lesser talked about desktop managers like e17, LXDE, XFCE and so on. If you're struggling with one particular desktop manager... you should look at what the barrier is. What is causing you difficulty? Is it actually the desktop manager? or is it something else?
